Skate Night

Posted by Jill Rule Categories:
Last night our church, Summit Community Church, rented out Skate King; a local skating rink.  We invited Jeremy's brothers and their wives, Sam and Robyn, and Timothy and Yara to see if they wanted to join the fun.  It was the first time any of our kids had been up on real roller skates, in a rink environment.  They had blast, as did the adults.  :-)  Please excuse the poor photography.  The lighting was really low, and it wasn't until the end of the night till I realized how to set the camera options to optimize picture quality.
 
 
Jeremy and Alexander.  Alex was quite excited to be going skating.
 
 
Kayleen was starting to get the hang of it, unfortunatly much of the night was spent on the floor.  ;-(
 
 
 
 
Uncle Timothy and Jeremy think they still have game.
 
 
Jill and Alex making their way around the edge of the rink...very slowly.
 
 
Ethan was a bit shaky at first, but then managed to make laps around the rink...by holding onto the edge.  hehe
 
 
Jeremy and Jill
 
 
Uncle Sam and Aunt Robyn mosey onto the skating floor.
 
 
Uncle Sam and Kayleen heading towards the finish line...oh okay, not really.
 
 
Ethan making his way around the rink.  He even kept track of his laps.  ;-)
 
 
"Don't forget us!"  Cousins Thomas and Violet joined in on the fun also.  Notice them standing up against the 70's style rink benches?  Classic!
 
 
Alexander had a great time "skating" around the carpeted area.  This picture is kind of neat.  It is all yellowed out (by accident) and looks like it's actually from the 70's, I guess the in-line skates give it away.  Darn!
 
 
Aunt Yara, Cousin Thomas, and Uncle Timothy
 
 
 
 
We all really invaded that table.  LOL

Random Shots

In an attempt to stay current with our blog, I'm going to really try to post pictures weekly.  They may not be that interesting, but hey, it's a "Day in the Life" type of thing.  Here are a few from today, and the past few weeks.
 
Alexander in "Big Boy" undies...(we're trying really hard).
 
 
 
Dad and Alexander playing cello just a few minutes ago.
 
 
 
Saturday morning cartoons...
 
 
 
Soccer!
 
Ethan is quite the player!  Too bad we can't play up...it's all based on age.
 
 
Throw in.
 
 
My goalie!  She's actually playing fullback most
of the time now.
 
 
The boys playing around during Kayleen's game.
 
 
 
Yes, blocked a shot!
 
 
What a goof ball!  This was actually a pose!
 
 
Progress!

Crazy Hair Day

Posted by Jill Rule Categories:
Welcome October!  I guess I had better get my monthly post in. LOL  I keep "thinking" I need to get a post up here, but then get busy.  My goal was to post every week...whoops!
 
This week the kids school has it's one and only fundraiser, the Walk-A-Thon.  In an effort to raise the level of "fun" this week is Spirit Week.  Today was Crazy Hair/Hat/Socks day.  The kids just get so excited.  Alex insisted he have a "mohawk" as well, and that he wanted, "the junk" in it.  "The junk" was the orange hair gel.

And a "crazy" shot for giggles.
